I used dried basal cause I'm cheap, but I do recommend using fresh lemons.

This was surprisingly good! The few simple ingredients resulted in big flavour. *Definitely use low-sodium soy sauce, regular would be way too salty. In fact maybe I'd try using 3/4 of the amount next time. Anything that uses up so much basil from my garden is appreciated. Will definitely make again.

Personally would not make again. It was delicious, just very lemon forward and I couldn't really taste much else
